What Is the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ) Website?

Updated

sjp.ac.lk is the official website of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ), a university in Sri Lanka located in Gangodawila, Nugegoda, near Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, the capital city. The site is the university's main public portal: it presents USJ's academic programmes, faculties, student and staff services, research activity, and current news. Use it when you need official information about what USJ offers or how the institution is organised; it is not a general education portal or a private service.

What the site covers

The homepage navigation groups content into a few clear areas:

  • Courses — undergraduate degrees, postgraduate degrees, external degrees and extension courses, courses for foreign students, and upcoming courses.
  • Faculties — Humanities and Social Sciences, Applied Sciences, Management Studies and Commerce, Medical Sciences, Graduate Studies, Technology, Engineering, Allied Health Sciences, Dental Sciences, Urban and Aquatic Bioresources, and Computing.
  • Students — student welfare, library, university life, e-learning, and a gallery.
  • Staff — staff resources, Santhagaraya, and the Centre for Quality Assurance.
  • Research — research overview and research journals.
  • About and administration — Vice Chancellor, administration, contact details, alumni, quality assurance, and login.
  • Services and resources — library, medical center, ICT services (Centre for IT Services, USJNet Sphere sign-in), innovation, international, career guidance, open learning, and blog.

News, events, and courses as signals of activity

The homepage carries dated news and updates, upcoming events, and upcoming courses, which makes it a practical place to check what is currently happening. Examples visible on the page include:

  • News items on international delegations and collaboration, such as meetings with Southern Illinois University (USA), RUDN University of Russia, and Zhejiang Shuren University.
  • Institutional and community notices, including a GREENSL® Platinum certification for the Institute of Allergology and Immunology, a Pirith chanting and alms-giving ceremony, a student selected for the national table tennis team, and the 52nd Convocation 2026.
  • An upcoming event listing for IRCHSS 2027 and upcoming course listings such as a Diploma in Cosmetic Technology (SLQF 03).

Because these entries are dated, treat them as time-sensitive: confirm details on the linked page rather than relying on the homepage summary.

Practical notes before you rely on it

  • Login areas exist but access conditions are not stated on the homepage. Links such as "Login" and "USJNet Sphere Sign In" indicate restricted services; the page does not describe who is eligible or what credentials are needed, so check with the relevant office if you are unsure.
  • No pricing information is published on the homepage. Course fees, payment methods, and any charges are not shown in the material reviewed, so do not assume courses are free or that payment can be made online.
  • Contact and location details are provided through the About/Contact Us sections, which is the right route for admissions, eligibility, and deadline questions that the site does not answer directly.

In short, sjp.ac.lk is the authoritative starting point for understanding USJ's structure and offerings; for decisions about applying, fees, or access to restricted systems, follow the linked pages or contact the university directly.
